3 KPN LoRa Connector

This module is a connector for the LoRa devices and enables receiving incoming messages through the LoRa network (as it is provided by KPN in the Netherlands).

4 Amazon S3 Connector

5 Salesforce.com Connector

This module enables building Mendix apps on top of your Salesforce environment in minutes. Get the rapid development and deployment power of Mendix on top of your entire existing Salesforce architecture. This connector quickly and easily allows you to communicate with standard or custom objects in your company’s Salesforce instance.

7 Kerberos Single Sign-On

This module enables the Kerberos-based single sign-on feature in your application. This is useful in Windows Active Directory environments, since this protocol supports Integrated Windows Authentication. As a result, users logged on to the Windows domain do not have to enter their credentials to log in to your application.

9 Excel Importer

10 Excel Exporter

This module enables creating templates that export data from your Mendix application to Excel or the CSV format. This module creates an OQL query and directly prints the result to a FileDocument in your desired format. Add styling to your Excel to create the proper headers and styling formats for a complete report.

14 MxSMTP Module

15 SFTP Connection

This component enables exchanging FileDocuments with an SFTP server. It allows for files to be sent to a location, for files to be retrieved from a location, and for the file listing of a location (for example, for batch retrieval). Please note that this component works with SFTP (SSH) and not with FTPS (SSL).
